Silicon Crosses the Logical Threshold: First Universal Logical Operations Demonstrated in a Silicon Quantum Processor
24 Mar 2026 - In 1998, Bruce Kane published a single-page proposal in Nature that launched an entire subfield of quantum computing. The idea was elegant: use the nuclear spins of individual phosphorus atoms embedded in a silicon crystal as…

The 1,000-Qubit Ceiling That Probably Isn’t
21 Mar 2026 - A curious thing happened in cybersecurity Slack channels and LinkedIn threads over the last few weeks: security professionals who had been dragging their feet on post-quantum cryptography migration suddenly had a new reason to wait. A…

IBM’s Quantum-Centric Supercomputing Blueprint
IBM's reference architecture treats quantum processors as specialized compute offload engines within existing HPC infrastructure — and maps a decade-long evolution toward fully co-designed quantum-classical systems.

Science Confirms What Large Corporate Survivors Already Knew – Organizational Bullshit Makes You Worse at Your Job
Regular readers will know that organizational bullshit is a topic I've been fascinated by - and personally scarred by - for years. I wrote about it at length back in 2022, drawing on the foundational academic work by Frankfurt, Spicer,…

A New Algorithm Shrinks the Quantum Attack Surface for ECC
15 Mar 2026 - When Clémence Chevignard, Pierre-Alain Fouque, and André Schrottenloher submitted their latest paper to EUROCRYPT 2026, they already had a track record that the cryptographic community was watching closely. In 2024, the same team at INRIA Rennes…

Quantinuum Squeezes 94 Logical Qubits from 98 Physical — But What Does It Actually Mean?
10 Mar 2026 - Quantinuum researchers have demonstrated quantum computations using up to 94 error-detected logical qubits and 48 error-corrected logical qubits on the company's 98-qubit Helios trapped-ion quantum processor. The work, published as a pre-print on arXiv, reports "beyond…

Inside Quantum Computing’s Modular Revolution – Discussion with QuantWare’s CEO Matt Rijlaarsdam
Quantum computing is entering a new phase where scaling up isn’t just about qubit counts - it’s about how those qubits are built and integrated. A recent discussion with QuantWare’s CEO, Matt Rijlaarsdam, shed light on “quantum open architecture” (QOA)…

The White House Just Released Its New National Cyber Strategy. It’s Not a Strategy.
7 Mar 2026 - On Friday afternoon - the traditional Washington burial ground for news you'd rather not have scrutinized - the White House released "President Trump's Cyber Strategy for America," the administration's long-delayed national cybersecurity strategy document. Originally expected…

No One Has Secretly Broken RSA-2048 or RSA-4096 — Here’s the Science
If someone tells you RSA-2048 or even RSA-4096 has been secretly cracked, they are either lying to you or have been lied to. There is no third option that is consistent with physics, engineering, the observable behavior of governments and…

Quantum Sovereignty & Geopolitics
Quantum technologies are leaving the lab and entering the machinery of national power — and "quantum sovereignty" is becoming a blunt strategic question: who can build, operate, trust, and control quantum capabilities under geopolitical stress, without being cut off? This…

Bitcoin’s Quantum Timeline Is Not RSA’s Quantum Timeline
Most quantum-risk-to-Bitcoin analyses rehash RSA-2048 timelines. They're missing the point. Bitcoin doesn't use RSA. It uses 256-bit ECC - and Shor's algorithm will break that first. Scan the quantum computing coverage of Bitcoin and you will find a remarkable pattern.…

Q-FUD: The Quantum Panic Industry
Cybersecurity has always had a FUD problem. “FUD” (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) is the oldest trick in enterprise security marketing: paint a worst-case scenario, imply you’re already compromised, sprinkle in enough jargon to make the buyer feel outgunned, and then…
